Poison Physician Consort Chapter 465

Ever since Bai Luochu channelled the Moonlight Guidance to achieve a higher level of cultivation, her body suffered from the overexertion and she had yet to fully recover from it.

The Field Pearl Flower was able to increase a person's level of cultivation to the highest possible level, however, that was dependent on the amount of spirit qi they had in their body. As of now, Bai Luochu felt that she only had very minute amounts of spirit qi left in her body. Whatever spirit qi was left in her body turned into maniacal dragons as they smashed about inside her body. The feeling it gave her was as though all her bones and meridian pathways were being reconstructed.

Pei Qingfeng felt his heart shatter to pieces when he saw Bai Luochu in pain.

Since she had only been recently reincarnated into her new body, the meridian pathways in her new body were not built to withstand such high levels of spirit qi flowing through them. However, the Field Pearl Flower that she had consumed allowed her to transform her body into one that was able to endure higher levels of spirit qi without self destructing.

However, the transformation process was not as easy as it seemed.

As the power of the Field Pearl Flower coursed through her veins, it purged all the impurities in it. Her meridians were forcefully cleansed. In order to enlarge the meridians, the Field Pearl Flower created several tiny spheres to push their way through her them. They tore and reformed whatever meridian they traveled through in order to make them more resilient.

The transformation process caused Bai Luochu to feel excruciating pain. Although she didn't scream out loud, her face was devoid of blood and her clothes were drenched in cold sweat. Suddenly, her face turned bright red, as the spheres of Field Pearl Flower unlocked her spirit qi pathways. Blood rushed to her face and it turned into a bright red tomato.

Pei Qingfeng felt his heart leaping to his throat. The Bai Luochu before him looked as though she had been possessed by her desire for cultivation. From time to time, Pei Qingfeng could see the massive amounts of spirit qi coursing through her veins. Her limbs and face would twist in pain as spirit qi escaped from the pores of her skin.

The passage of time continued to flow, and it was hard to tell whether it was day or night. As tiny specks of light glittered like stars in the night sky, Pei Qingfeng had no idea how long had passed since Bai Luochus started to absorb the energy contained within the Field Pearl Flower.

After a long time, Bai Luochu's breathing finally started to stabilize and color returned to her face. It seemed as though she had finally completed her absorption of the Field Pearl Flower...

The look on her face made it look as though she had comprehended the use of the power between heaven and earth. It was obvious that Bai Luochu's current level of cultivation had greatly exceeded that of Pei Qingfeng!

Pei Qingfeng raised his brows as he felt that it was strange for her to be able to break through so quickly.

Bai Luochu's eyes snapped open and she felt her powerful spirit qi surging through her body again. Without even circulating her spirit qi to get used to her newfound strength, she knew that she had succeeded. She turned to look at Pei Qingfeng and he had a quizzical look upon his face as he felt that she looked different from before.

She was different indeed. Although she looked the same, her eyes were clearer and her skin was pale to the point where it was nearly transparent! If she stood under the sun, the blood vessels under her skin would be exposed to the world. Also, because she had a higher level of cultivation, her high level of spirit qi could not be detected by Pei Qingfeng unless she decided to reveal it herself.

“What's going on?!” Pei Qingfeng cried out in surprise. Since their relationship had progressed to the point where they no longer hid secrets from one another, he felt as though he needed to know what was going on.

Bai Luochu kept her head lowered even though she had heard what he said.

She did not know how to explain to Pei Qingfeng what was going on. She was unsure whether she should reveal her true identity to him, even though she knew that he wouldn't leave her no matter what. Of course, the experiences she had in her past life played a huge part to contribute to her confusion.

Pei Qingfeng could see that Bai Luochu didn't know what to do and he slowly walked up to her. Placing his hands on her shoulders, he reassured her, “Don't worry about it! You don't need to explain anything to me if you don't want to! I know that you will never hurt me, and that is enough.”

A long silence filled the room. Even though Bai Luochu tried her best to keep calm, there was a battle raging within her.

Finally, Bai Luochu broke the silence with her trembling voice, “I want to tell you a secret that I have kept hidden for a long time. After hearing my secret, you can choose to stay with me or to leave me…”

Pei Qingfeng was stunned silly as he looked at her. He thought to himself, Since it's a secret, she can choose not to tell me about it! Why is she so afraid I will choose to leave her?

Pei Qingfeng nodded quietly, showing that he agreed to what she said.

“Right now, I am standing before you in Luo Chu's body. However, Luo Chu has already left the world to be in a better place. I am Bai Luochu, and my spirit took over her body.”

Pei Qingfeng furrowed his brows as he struggled to recall the name 'Bai Luochu'. It sounded familiar yet foreign at the same time.

Looking at the frown on Pei Qingfeng's face, Bai Luochu felt as though he was flustered after finding out her true identity.

“That's right, I am that evil dao witch and I have reincarnated into the body of Luo Chu! If you are afraid of me, you can leave right now!” Bai Luochu cried out.

Quick! Get lost and run away from here, before I change my mind and decide to keep you by my side! Bai Luochu thought to herself.

Pei Qingfeng finally recalled where he had heard her name and it was as though the cloud in his mind had dispersed. He regained his calm and as he turned round to face her, he noticed that her eyes were red and brimming with tears.

He rushed to her side and kneeled beside her, as he thought that her body was unable to take the strain of her own spirit qi.

“What's wrong? I have told you many times before! Don't be too anxious to improve your cultivation! I can still protect you if we meet with any danger, why are you so impatient?! Do you feel uncomfortable?” 

Bai Luochu flung his arm off her and yelled, “Aren't you afraid of me? I am an evil dao witch who kills without batting an eyelid!”

Bai Luochu's voice was soft and weak, unlike her usual self. Perhaps she was afraid of scaring Pei Qingfeng away.
